The latest issue of UK's PSM3 contains a bunch of new insider information (remember: that equals rumors) discussing games such as a new Shellshock, The Godfather II, and more. Lets take a look.

Guerilla's Vietnam Shooter Shellshock is set to get a sequel. The sequel will be more of a psychological horror than action.

The Godfather II is very much 'go', and is rumored to contain 'investigation' segments.

Iron Man is set to appear in Sega's Incredible Hulk, with the big green guy returning the favor in Iron Man.

Activision have trademarked the name DJ Hero, this could mean a Guitar Hero style game but with a DJ Deck.

Free Radical are working on a new LucasArts Game which is rumored to be Star Wars Battlefront 3.

Midways game adaptation on the film The Wheelman is still on its way. Details for the game are due late April.

Midway are working on a sequel to Stranglehold. More than likely starring Chow Yun-fat.

SEGA is supposedly making a Alien RPG. The guys working on it are Obsidian, the same people who are also making the spy game Alpha Protocol.

THQ have retired the game series Juiced after cutbacks.

More KILLZONE 2 footage will be shown to a select audience (including PSM3) to prove that the E3 2005 footage featuring the breathless rocket launcher sequence as you squad barks orders in real time, can actually be done on the PS3.

Konami will be making Metal Gear merchandise. This will include a duck egg-timer that will feature in Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear T-shirts.

I'm definitely excited about The Godfather II and seeing this new KILLZONE 2 footage. The DJ Hero game sounds interesting as well.

Crap, you're right. it's taking place on July 15-17. That really sucks. That means we'll have another 4 months before any big announcements are made.

Thankfully we'll have GTAIV and MGS4 to keep us busy until E3. Here's hoping we get a Killzone 2 beta before E3 (or that they'll have that ready by E3; I'd be pissed if they weren't at least that far ahead in 4 months considering they've been working on this game for probably 2 years already).
